5-course lunch, ₩25,000 at Samsin Garosu-gil, a Gangnam Chinese
Samsin Garosu-gil is a Korean-Chinese-Japanese fusion Chinese restaurant tucked in the alley off Gangnam-daero 156-gil near Sinsa Station in Gangnam, Seoul, spread across the 2nd and 3rd floors. The 25,000-won Samsin Course A brought five stages — Sokcho snow crab soup, xiaolongbao, Tokyo tangsuyuk, a choice of jajangmyeon or jjamppong, and dessert — served in a mint-colored booth with green marble tables. If you're after a Chinese course meal under 30,000 won on Garosu-gil, this is a solid pick.
